This year the European Centre for Modern Languages of the Council of Europe has been again involved in organising today's 6th edition of the language festival. 

The Graz Museum and its surrounding area have been transformed for the day into a language hub. 

All age groups are invited to the festival which offers a wide range of activities highlighting the linguistic and cultural diversity of the city of Graz. The event features a lively mix of language workshops, games, quizzes and international theatre, music and dance. 

Council of Europe Director General of democracy, Snežana Samardžić-Marković, has honoured us today with her presence and opening speech at the Graz Sprachenfest and her visit at the premises of the ECML.

We hope to attract over 2000 participants to the language festival this year!
